Very long barge (or long long barge) is the second extension of barge.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, Most common objects on Catagolue

It is the 96th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than beehive with nine but more common than trans-long boat with tail. It is the 13th most common still life with 10 cells, being less common than trans-barge with tail but more than twice as common as carrier siamese carrier.[1]

The very long barge is extremely rare compared to the long barge, by a factor of 12,000. This is in contrast to the regular barge versus the long barge (7.5×) and the very long barge versus the long³ barge (4×).

Glider synthesis

Main article: Glider synthesis

The very long barge is the most common 10-cell still life without a known four-glider synthesis. The cheapest known recipe requires five gliders.
